Chapter 57 – 58
Chapter 57:
Charlie sat down with Claire and Elsa, and Gerald followed and sat beside Elsa.
As soon as he sat down, he smiled and asked Elsa: “Elsa, I heard that you came to Aurous Hill this time to work in the Emgrand Group?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Elsa nodded: “I just joined the job.”
Gerald smiled and said: “It’s a coincidence. My dad is in the Emgrand Group and is the deputy general manager of a department. Then I will let him take care of you.”
When these words came out, several people on the table exclaimed: “Brother Gerald, is your dad the deputy general manager of the Emgrand Group?”
“Yes.” Gerald nodded and said, “HE was promoted last year.”
Someone hurriedly complimented: “The annual salary of the deputy general manager is several million, right? That’s amazing! No wonder your family is so rich!”
Gerald smiled and said: “Several millions are just wages. My dad has a lot of power and some other income. Now Emgrand Group is working on a hotel project. After this project, my dad can earn at least 10 to 20 million. “
A male student sitting across from him hurriedly asked: “Brother Gerald, I also want to join the Emgrand Group. I have submitted my resume several times and there is no news. Can you tell uncle and see if you can recommend me internally?”
Gerald nodded and said readily, “Okay, turn around and send your resume to me on WeChat. I’ll say hello to him.”
Charlie couldn’t help frowning. He really didn’t know that Gerald’s father turned out to be an executive of the Emgrand Group.
This is a bit interesting. Then he should send a text message to Doris Young later and ask her to fire Gerald’s father.
So he deliberately asked: “Gerald, since your father is so capable in the Emgrand Group, why didn’t he get you in?”
Gerald sneered disdainfully: “You know what a bullsh*t? It doesn’t make much sense for me to join the Emgrand Group. The relationship between father and son can’t be concealed. People will always stared when I enter.”
Gerald said proudly: “So I don’t think about Emgrand Group at all. I have now established a building materials company, and then I will directly cooperate with Emgrand Group through my dad to receive orders from Emgrand Group for building materials.”
“I see!” Someone sighed: “Then you are making a lot of money?”
Gerald snorted: “It’s okay, in a year, I should be able to make a lot of money.”
With that said, he deliberately looked at Charlie and asked: “Charlie, what do you do now? Isn’t it because you have been washing clothes and cooking after you become a parent?”
Everyone on the table laughed.
Charlie said lightly: “In addition to washing clothes and cooking, I also have to take wife to work and massage her back, so life is busy.”
Gerald’s lungs are about to explode. This b@stard has a face that is taken for granted, and his face is really thick!
Controlling his anger, he gritted his teeth and said: “Charlie, I didn’t expect you to eat leftovers with peace of mind!”
“Otherwise?” Charlie said shamelessly: “I didn’t steal it, and I didn’t snatch it. Why don’t I feel comfortable with whatever I getto eat?”
The students around looked silly.
They have seen shameless, but they have never seen such shameless!
The point is, everyone is still envious!
After all, Claire is so beautiful. It is something that many people dream of to eat the soft rice of such a goddess level woman!
Jealousy, envy, and hate ah!
If there is a chance to serve a beauty like Claire, what is it to be a son-in-law? Being a son-in-law is also a winner in life!
Gerald was choked to death.
At this moment, Stephen’s wife Lili suddenly stepped onto the stage.
After thanking everyone with a smile on her face, she said: “Thank you for giving us many gifts today. Both Stephen and I are very moved. To express our gratitude to everyone, we decided to announce the details of the gifts here. , Thank you all again!”
Since today is the opening ceremony, the link of presenting gifts is naturally indispensable.
Chapter 58:
Originally, Stephen didn’t want to do this, but in fact he didn’t have much right to speak, so he could only let Lili do things.
But many classmates are not surprised by this, because people have a psychology of comparison and show off. Everyone can see who gives what next, and can judge how old classmates have mixed up after entering the society.
Subsequently, Lili began to roll the call.
“Thank you Jones Jie for the one thousand red envelope!”
“Thank you White Bei for the pair of gold ingots!”
“Thank you Xu Oouou for the jade brave!”
“Thank you Gerald for the ten thousand red envelope!”
The first few gifts, whether they were red envelopes or gifts, were mostly around 1,000 in market value. Suddenly, when they arrived at Gerald, he gave 10,000 in red envelopes, and the students were shocked.
The opening ceremony is just a red envelope with 10,000. This is too big!
Many people watched Gerald with amazement and praised his greatness.
Gerald also had a smug look on his face. It seemed that he easily took the lead among these classmates.
At this time, Lili said again: “Thank you Charlie and Claire for the old painting!”
Everyone laughed as soon as this was said!
Old painting? Is it worth a hundreds?
Are these two too picky? Stephen’s Restaurant opened, Jones Luo’s rich banquet cost hundreds of per person for eating alone. You two come to have a meal and give an old painting? Are you two not afraid of being laughed at?
Gerald also sneered: “Charlie, you can afford a BMW 520, and you can also afford to remodel it. Why then at the opening, you only gave such a tattered thing?”
Charlie smiled faintly: “You don’t know its origin, so why do you say it is tattered?”
Gerald sneered and said: “Don’t think I don’t know what your idea is, just want to buy that tattered fake antique to pretend to be a good thing, so that people can’t figure out how much it is worth!”
Then, he said aggressively: “To be honest, how much did your old painting cost? One hundred or eighty?”
Charlie smiled slightly: “That painting is more valuable than what everyone present today adds up!”
“Hahahaha!” Gerald took the lead and laughed: “You are really bragging not to write drafts! I gave 10,000 red envelopes, and there are more than 20 classmates, each of whom gave 1,000 which must be around 20,000. What do you say? What does it mean to say that your painting is worth more than 30,000?”
Charlie smiled and said, “You said it is less.”
“Ah ha ha!”
Now, the whole class is laughing.
Everyone thinks that this Charlie is really too pretentious!
What is the gift, you dare to come out and provoke me? An old painting worth tens of thousands? Are you fooling someone?
At this time, Lili on the stage was also very contemptuous, and asked curiously: “Mr. Charlie, I don’t know whose ancient painting you gave? Is it worth tens of thousands?”
Charlie said lightly: “A painter from the Qing Dynasty, not very famous.”
Lili laughed and said, “Oh, it’s a coincidence. My dad is a cultural relic appraiser, and he is very authoritative. He is Yuesheng Liu. He knows antiques. He should have heard of his name, right?”
Elsa exclaimed: “Yuesheng? Cultural relic expert Yuesheng? I remember this person, who was on State TV! Is he your father?”
Lili smiled and said, “Yes, it’s my father. He is upstairs now. How about I ask him to come down and appreciate this ancient painting given by classmate Charlie?”
Gerald stood up and said loudly: “Then Lili will let uncle come down to help us appreciate it. If the value of Charlie’s painting really exceeds all the gifts that everyone has today, Gerald, me Gerald, will eat this table on the spot! “
